People are scared of geese. But geese are scared of ibises, apparently. The ducks stay clear of them too.

This little white duck had so much character I thought I’d devote a photo montage for it.

A sweet-looking female duck is swimming in the water. Her feathers are mostly light brown, with a little bit of dark brown mottling. Her back feathers are black with a light-brown edge to them. Her bill is smallish for a duck, and light blue-gray in color.

A duck is swimming in a green pond, with an almost-perfect reflection mirroring its body and head. The duck mostly looks like a standard mallard female, but the bill is at least twice as wide and long as a mallard's bill.

Every morning, we let the ducks out of their run to spend the day foraging (and pooping) in the yard. They’re always so excited to be released.

This includes the Eider Farmers of the Grand General Council in the West Fjords. Their tradition is to sit out with their ducks each night, to keep the fox away, and in the morning they gather for coffee and to recite a poem they wrote during their night's watch.

Sitting out on beaches to keep foxes away from nesting birds is a very big part of seabird conservation here too, I wonder if we need to bring poetry into it?

#Ducks #Conservation #Eider #Iceland

The eider farmers of the Grand General Council in the West Fjords A very interesting social interaction around eider farming that I came across during my study was the Grand General Council in the West Fjords. It gathers neighboring eider farmers around Dyrafjordur, who guards their colony against the Arctic fox during the whole season. What is particular with these people is the peculiar habits and rituals they have developed: they gather at the 35 end of each watch in the moming, to share about their night, and recite one poem written during the watch.

This association has been followed by a visual anthropologist, Haukur Sigurdsson (2012) who made the film Skolliales about them along with his thesis in Visual anthropology. They have invented a full protocol, as well as diplomas, all around the watch for the fox, and more than 3000 poems have been thoroughly collected and archived by their leader, Valdimar H. Gislason, who hosts the Grand General Council meetings. Those gatherings are an occasion to meet around coffee and pancakes, and to exchange about the night watch. This exchange is materialized with the poem that each watcher reads out loud.

I had the privilege of sharing a watch with Valdimar, although without attending a meeting as it
was too late in June, and will share the poem he wrote that night

Í Geir Jóni áðan galt við hátt
glumdi í fjallasalnum.

I'm writing about Eiders again and was reminded about the wonderful Ethnoecology of Eider Farmers in Iceland, a PhD by Gilles Chen, that looks at the relationship between eiders and humans in Iceland

https://www.hi.is/sites/default/files/mas/onnur_skjol/report_english_gilles_25_april.pdf

It discusses all aspects of the tradition of eider down farming, which I was researching to see if we could apply any of it to conservation of this species here in the UK and these islands

Never noticed this before, but on a wetland visit yesterday it struck me that the #Gadwall flocks are suddenly out of anonymous eclipse plumage and back into their dapper grays for breeding - but none of the other #ducks are. They are on different schedules! Now I wonder why. Sibley guide does give time frames for initiating breeding plumage: Sep for Gadwall, Oct for #AmericanWigeon, #Mallard, & #GreenWingedTeal, Nov for #NorthernPintail, and not until Dec for #NorthernShoveler.

The #Ducks whooped on #Prime and Colorado. 42 - 6. Wow!

The #ducks have enjoyed being fed and I’ve sort of enjoyed having a brief stroll outside. #Manflu #DucksOfMastodon #MastoDucks

I'm seeing quite a few duck posts on fedi today - so I feel compelled to share a neat youtube channel I stumbled across in my recent dives.

A dude hatched a duck from an egg and imprinted on it, and now has a channel dedicated to his duck Wrinkle's adventures.

07/09/2023 - Another warm day in the shire. We decided to take it easy. Coffee shop then a walk to the duck pond in the morning. Afternoon was spent sitting outside, enjoying the warm air and a tense few games of Fives and Threes (I lost but the rematch is on for tomorrow). Evening walk up Creag Choinnich for sunset, a bit of dark and a blueberry muffin. A good day.

Drake with a very shiny green head following me at a distance and quacking non-stop. Here he's in a long grass area, bill open mid-quack, with a yellow daffodil flower behind him.
The duck with a white head and rich brown body is a female paradise shelduck (native). Won't put up with any nonsense from the far more numerous ordinary ducks! Hanging out on a paved area that's near the main pond, cafe and information centre - where they're often given food hand-outs!
Lovely smooth all-white duck, beautiful animal. Yellow beak and orange legs and feet. Standing on a green lawn with a mallard drake dabbling at the grass just behind her.
Three ducks together, lined up on the lawn. The all-white duck looking sweet, a male duck in the middle - another quacker in mid-quack, and on his other side a female mallard. They all look very companionable.

got to maine yesterday and today i saw this amazing duck friend. this is a common eider! she was swimming around with her chick off the coast while i was looking through tide pools.

she got up on this rock waiting for baby to join her (they did not want to, they were content to continue doing little baby dives in the water) before getting exasperated and getting back in to swim around with baby. i've never seen one of them up this close! i was very very excited.

while she does not have as striking colors as the male, i think she is very beautiful duck. i love the speckled feathers on her chest.

A clump of something fell into a bush and I heard a peeping sound.

A duckling.

Walked around with it to find the mom and the quacking sound came from the roof. So my favorite mallard hen was able to have a successful brood after all. Climbed onto the roof and put duckling back. Hopefully they will be ok. Left a large plant saucer on the roof with some water and brick to hold it down.

The belly is cream colored with dark brown top and cream markings. The bill is small and black. The duckling is looking off to the side.

Well, hello! Looks like I ought to do an #introduction here.

Hi! I'm Adam. I recently drifted into the Fediverse with the Great
#RedditMigration of July 2023. I've already dabbled with Mastodon and kBin. Now I'm dipping my toes into Calkey.

I'm originally from
#Iowa but live in #Wisconsin now. Like, far #northernwisconsin.

My wife and I have a tiny farm where we have a small
#garden and are mob-ruled by our flock of #chickens, #ducks, and #geese. We've also employed the help of the tiniest herd of tiny Nigerian Dwarf #goats to help us fight back some of the invasive honeysuckle and buckthorn that seems to have taken over our little homestead.

We also have two
#cats, two #dogs, and a very independent, "wild" #rabbit that my wife actually rescued from a food bank garden.

My interests include, but are not limited to;

• Current events/politics
• Culture/history/language
• Food

A couple of years ago I was lolling around in bed with my customary box of lolling-bonbons when out of nowhere a mated pair of wood ducks fucking landed in the tree right outside my window. We don’t get a lot of waterfowl up here on Vulture Ridge, and these ducks are pretty rare to begin with, so this was a jaw-droppingly unexpected and unprecedented event, particularly for an old aunt who does most of her birding through a picture window from a prone position in the boudoir. I was dumbstruck.

They hung around preening for a few minutes, presumably so I could contemplate’em with a childlike sense of wonder, then winged off, never to be seen again. To this day I scan for’em whenever I look at this tree. Sometimes I wonder if I dreamed it.
